Hey,

I'm not sure if you would want to use this, but I thought I'd submit it just in case. I mentioned this fix in issue #8 ("Doesn't work in Mountain Lion?"). This quick hack would allow Mountain Lion to use PCKeyboardHack's 10.7 kext until 10.8's source code is released.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for a patch.

However, PCKeyboardHack is highly dependent on the internal structure of the kernel.
And many user is not familiar with low level OS X operation such as single user mode.
If PCKeyboardHack touches unintended memory area and causes kernel panic,
users cannot repair their OS X. (They have to go Genius Bar.)

Therefore, I've decided not to release a 10.8 version until I can get the internal structure.
